Here we go again....

The "secret" is to start them cold and put them in already or almost
boiling water right from the fridge. No need to spend $20-$40 on
another gadget.

I had 100% given up on HBE for years until I read this:

Now I get 100% peelable eggs every time (80 of the last 80 eggs,
previously 5 out of 50). 12 minutes for a large egg gives you the
solid yolk. You'll want to prick the egg so it doesn't crack when
it gets shocked.
